In this video you’ll see the process of making a Finnish style knife (puukko) with Saami style carvings. I am not an expert in puukko knife but I’m fascinated by how usefull and beautiful they are.
Knife making is my hobby and I like to learn new stuff and sharing the process with others. So in every new video I try to experiment new things and implement them.
This time I wanted to try : antler bolster, Saami style carvings, dying the sheath with two tones and making a Saami style leather loop to hang the knife.
At first I wanted to make a simple puukko without anything fancy on it, no brass bolster or such things. But I ended up adding some Saami style carvings because I have never done it on a knife before. The only time I’ve done it was on a test piece you can see at some point in this video.
I struggled to find an appropriate colouring product to fill up the carvings. Everytime I wanted to polish the knife after colouring the carvings, it was smearing all over the polishing wheel, staining the wood around.
In the end I used a permanent marker. So if there’s some experts out there I would like to hear about what product you are using.
The specs :
Blade - Puronvarsi 90mm hunter carbon steel
Bolster - Reindeer antler
Spacers - Leather and fake ivory (Elforyn)
Handle - Curly birch from finland
Sheath - Maple wood insert and cow leather
Loop - Goat leather
Glue - Epoxy
